Great Planes F-20 Tshark EP ARTF (A-GPMA1875)

Product Description

To prevent front-line fighter technology from falling into the wrong hands, the U.S. Department of Defense launched a project in the late 1970s that would produce less advanced aircraft for sale to our allies. Approximately $1.2 billion was spent by Northrop developing the F-20. But when policy changes during the Reagan administration left it competing directly for sales with the superior F-16, the project was abandoned. Just three prototypes had been built — & only one survives. Still, the F-20's speed & aggressive lines captured the hearts of military aircraft enthusiasts — & of like-minded R/C modelers, who'll find plenty of both available in this Electri Fly EDF.*

Includes:: Hyper Flow™ ducted fan unit with powerful Ammo™ 24-45-3790 inrunner brushless motor.* Strong, lightweight Aero Cell™ foam construction.* Fast, easy assembly. Aero Cell may be the finest material ever created for electric aircraft! This closed-cell foam delivers the benefits of costly composite construction in a more pilot-friendly, easy building form. Aero Cell offers the structural strength & rigidity of traditional structures without building...the weight advantages of foam without the brittleness & breakage...and a paintable surface that comes out of the box factory-finished. The Hyper Flow ducted fan unit was designed by our engineering department using flow analysis & state-of-the-art computer modeling to identify the parameters for high performance. The result is the ultimate ducted fan design. With the Hyper Flow & our efficient Ammo 24-45-3790 brushless motor, the F-20 is primed for hyper speeds! The Aero Cell™ surface comes already finished in high-visibility colors. Decals & removable magnetic wingtip missiles are included. When you can't be out performing rocketing climbs & high-speed passes, admire your F-20 on its included display stand! Optimized air intake & exhaust areas contribute more than exciting realism — they help draw maximum speed from the F-20's Hyper Flow ducted fan system. Assembly of the F-20 Tigershark can be completed in as little as 4 to 6 hours. As with all Electri Fly models, a complete package of high-quality hardware is included.
